The summit of 12th June 201810 June 2018 By Abiodun Giwa

Strongman Jong un of North Korea and President Donald Trump of the United States.

The summit between the United States leader, President Donald Trump, and the North Korean strongman Kim Jong un, Tuesday in Singapore, tops the list of events for the 12th June 2018.. All eyes and the world's attention are on Singapore. This attention will not cease until the world knows the outcome of the summit between the world's foremost democratic leader and the foremost dictator. There is a sign that Jong un wants to dump the garb of the world's foremost dictator. Yet, no one seems certain about what will be the outcome of the summit between the two leaders. And no one expects anyone who is not a soothsayer to know about events of the future. But the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had met and discussed with Jong un prior to the summit arrangement, said that Jong un had told him about his readiness to denuclearize, because according to Pompeo, Jong un said the path he had been treading up to this moment, no longer works in the modern situation. Even people who are specialists are not ruling out the possibility of North Korea's abandonment of life as a pariah state, but they are unsure whether the entire issue of remaking of North Korea can be achieved from just one summit. And the North Koreans have not pushed against Pompeo's statement about Jong un's assertion that he is ready for total denuclearization in favor of embracing a modernism and consideration to make provision for his people, rather than spending a whopping percentage of the country's budget on armament, which does not benefit the ordinary people in the long term. Apparently, the hook of good life does not discriminate among people. Capitalism and free trade may have its negative side for the need to work hard to move from the bottom to the top often crafted as survival of the fittest, but no one can deny capitalism's positive side, the competition that ensure steady development, helps the community and people in the community, which would have eluded them without the need to struggle to fend for themselves. It is too early to determine the direction, which the summit and the aim of the U.S at getting Jong un to discard his nuclear power acquisition will take, when it is known that the U.S. has own nuclear power that will not be dismantled . The entire issue is still reeling under the uncertainty that clouds the world of diplomacy and the idea of living by example. If the U.S. expects North Korea to dismantle the nuclear acquisition, will the U.S. do the same? It is possible for Jong un to want to dismantle the nuclear acquisition in favor of gaining American friendship and the attendant growth possibilities. But not to entirely discard the North Koreans' culture or way of life, to become Yankees. Has China not remained a communist state, in spite of the country's hook to the good aspects of capitalism? Jong un surely has something laudable he may want to accomplish, partly for himself and partly for his people, by his readiness to dialogue with President Trump. And he deserves to be given attention and a chance to weigh what to do with the form of unenviable type of government he has inherited from his fathers, just like the Americans are giving him the chance of an open door, instead of distancing him. In less than 24 hours, the world will know the direction that Jong un has decided to take North Korea and North Koreans, and his own position as a leader in the modern world.
